I think the + convention started off because different countries have different international access codes. Well, on GSM networks, + can be a part of the number to represent the international access code ( the traditional access code in India is 00 for international). So to call Digium, from my GSM phone, I can use 0018775468963 or +18775468963 and Allison will answer :)

Question... What is the purpose of the + before the number? Does anyone actually have to enter it? If so how would you do it? It is not used in the US but do I see it come in on SIP lines CID. I assume the CID ignores it in the number as I do not see it on the display. It is however stored in asterisk and when doing CID comparisions it can be a problem.
